I can't help it; I've always been a roller-coaster freak. So when Ultimate Ride came out, I was pretty much guaranteed to snap it right up.

This game is sweet. Unlike Roller Coaster Factory, you actually have pretty tight control of individual track pieces, and accurate readings of the G-forces applying both laterally and vertically at any given point. And it really matters how many Gs you're pulling, because to complete the Imagineering Missions, you sometimes have to actually mind human limits. Very intensely cool.

I've finished the wooden coaster missions (though I may replay the whole lot for higher rewards), and am about midway through the steel coaster missions. And, after that ... the hanging coasters. Deep wheeage ensues.
